Chapter Ninety-Eight: Street Sales
Coming out of Yeli Mansion, Yin Qianhe weighed the money bag in his hand and laughed happily. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The first pot of gold earned by coming to the Western Regions is really gold! It's just a bag of gold and silver coins, and it looks like it's still worth it.
However, this is the currency of the Western Regions, and it cannot be used in the Central Plains, so it is still calculated by weight when calculating money, and it can be used when it is brought back to the capital in the future to find someone to melt it and make it into gold and silver nuggets.
Half of the goods were sold in the first trip, which made Yin Qianhe more confident. After the delivery of the goods the next day, she planned to go to the market to sell some clothes and fabrics in retail to see if the profit would be higher than selling in large quantities.
Because she didn't speak the local language, she went to ask Qin Zhong to go with her. Qin Chong was okay for the time being, so he agreed. Wu Xiaohu naturally followed them, helping to move some things by the way.
Set up a stall in the street market, and the three of them sat behind the stall and waited for customers to come to the door.
Yin Qianhe originally wanted to shout loudly, but when he thought that if he shouted in Chinese, he was afraid that few people would know what she was shouting, and he was embarrassed to trouble Qin Zhong to do such a thing that lost his identity, so he had to give up.
Fortunately, their Han dress and distinctive goods have the effect of attracting customers, so as soon as they sit down for a while, some people are attracted to them.
Yin Qianhe had already agreed with Qin Chong, she would come to greet the guests, and he would act as an interpreter for both sides in the middle.
After the guest approached, Yin Qianhe stood up and asked her with a smile if she wanted to buy clothes, and Qin Chong helped translate her words into the local language.
The customers looked through a few clothes on the stall repeatedly, with a hesitant look on their faces, as if they were thinking about how to choose, and they seemed to be not very rich.
After a long time, she asked, "How do you sell this dress?"
"Which one did the girl fancie? The price of each piece is different. ”
The guest pointed to a dark blue dress, "That's it." ”
"The girl's vision is really good, this skirt is the daughter of the old man's family, she bought one from me yesterday." Yin Qian's tricks were repeated, and he used the celebrity effect again.
"Really? Miss Yeli also wears this? ”
"Yes, if you don't believe it, you can go to Yeli Mansion to have a look, Yeli girl is not too beautiful to dress!"
The guest lowered his head and whispered: "Miss Yeli is a famous beauty in Shanshan, I don't dare to compare with her like this." ”
This girl does look very ordinary, and she doesn't seem to be very confident because of this.
Yin Qianhe suddenly felt a little pity for her in his heart, and comforted: "You can't say that, everyone has their own beauty, but they may not have discovered it." For example, I love your hands. ”
She was right, the guest's hands were indeed as white as freshly peeled green onions, and they were very beautiful.
The guest raised his hand and looked, "Hand? ”
"Yes, the hand is a woman's second face. You see how beautiful your hands are, white and slender, and everyone who sees them likes it. You say don't you? ”
Yin Qianhe asked Qin Chong and Wu Xiaohu beside him as he spoke.
The two looked at each other when asked, how could they carefully observe other people's hands. However, at this time, noticing the guest's hand and the look in his eyes expecting an answer, the two of them also nodded their heads in agreement.
The guest smiled shyly and replied "thank you".
"How much does your dress cost? I probably can't afford to buy what Miss Wild wears. ”
Yin Qianhe saw that she didn't look very rich, so he was embarrassed to open a high price, and if she opened it high, it might scare her away, so he opened eight coins of silver at the ordinary price in the capital.
The guest took out the money bag and counted the money inside, and then showed a pleased smile, "It's okay, the money is enough, give me this dress." ”
"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you."
This business was done in this way, although he didn't make anything, Yin Qianhe didn't feel much of a loss.
After the guests left, Wu Xiaohu asked her incomprehensibly: "Miss Yin, why is your dress sold so cheaply?" Didn't you say that you want to sell ten times more? ”
"I thought so, but seeing that this girl has such low self-esteem, I want her to dress up nicely and give her a long and confident look. She is not as happy as Miss Yeli, she has a rich father, and she can buy as many clothes as she wants, so don't knock people. ”
Wu Xiaohu scratched his ears, "It turns out that you have a kind heart." ”
"It's not kindness, it's just that she doesn't have enough money for me. What I want to earn is the money of rich people, and they love to enjoy their money, and they are my good customers. ”
Qin Zhong secretly laughed behind Wu Xiaohu, her mouth was hard and soft-hearted.
Wu Xiaohu said again: "Then why don't you make our second master's money?" ”
Yin Qianhe turned his head and glanced at Qin Chong, and couldn't help but smile: "Your second master is like a vegetarian monk all day long, I haven't seen him have any bad habits, and he is a treacherous giant businessman, it is not easy for a newcomer like me to earn his money." ”
Wu Xiaohu also laughed after hearing this, "Our second master doesn't have any preferences except tea." ”
Qin Chong didn't know how to refute Yin Qianhe's joke that accurately poked at the facts, so he had to skip this topic.
"It's a good idea for Miss Yin to use Miss Yeli to increase the value of her clothes."
"yes, it's called advertising, and that's what we do there. I also used this method when I was in the capital, and it was tried and tested anyway. ”
"I think the girl seems to have a lot of insight into business, not like she is new to the industry."
Yin Qianhe laughed a few times and thought, "I'm a person from a thousand years later, and I haven't eaten pork or seen a pig run." In the future, those business ideas are still known, although it may be a little shallow, but it is enough to do a small business. ”
"I learned it all from my father." This unspeakable credit was once again taken by her father Yin Hongchang.
As a result, Qin Chong's admiration for her father was aroused.
While the three of them were talking, two more guests came. These two guests are all bejeweled, no matter how you look at them, they are the wives of rich and noble families.
They stood in front of the stall and whispered to themselves, Yin Qianhe knew that they were evaluating their own things, but they didn't know whether it was a good or bad review, so he asked Qin Chongyi to read it to her.
Qin Zhong told her that the guests were saying that the clothes of the Han people were beautiful and the fabrics were comfortable.
Yin Qianhe was overjoyed when he heard this, smiled on his lips, and immediately boasted about the benefits of these clothes.
Saying that there is no such shop in this village after that, she only has so little goods left, and she will return to the Central Plains after selling them.
In short, it's a set of hunger marketing strategies.
If the people who come to the Western Regions to sell silk are the sand in the desert, then the people who come to sell clothes are the lakes in the desert, which is not only very rare, but also surprising. So her rhetoric worked quite well, and both guests were moved.
Yin Qianhe tried his best to finally earn a sum from these two big customers. Not only three sets of clothes were sold, but also two pieces of cloth.
A few dozen taels of silver arrived, and the previous loss was immediately made up.
Once the stall became popular, more people followed, and Yin Qianhe's stall was sold out in a short time.
It can be seen from this that many things of the Han people were very popular in the Western Regions, especially these elaborate objects. Yin Qianhe's worries when he first came were also in vain.
The three of them were closing their stalls, but there was a sudden commotion on the street, and they saw a man galloping on horseback. Pedestrians are courteous on both sides of the street. (To be continued.) )
